The 120-foot, neo-classical Beckford's Tower in Bath offers fantastic views of the surrounding countryside. The museum inside has displays of furniture made for the tower as well as paintings, prints and objects illustrating the life of William Beckford.

William Beckford was a writer, collector and patron of the arts. Designed by Henry Edmund Goodridge in 1825 and completed in 1827, the tower was built for Beckford as a study retreat and place to house his precious collection of art and rare books.

The Victorian cemetery nearby contains Beckford's tomb and during his lifetime was part of a beautiful pleasure garden known as Beckford's Ride.
